The Black Eyed Peas make effective pop/crossover music, but they aren't content to be disposable pop stars; they also want to write anthemic, vital songs that speak for a new generation. And so comes The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies). For every hyper-sexualized, by-the-numbers track like the hit single "Boom Boom Pow," there are message songs like "Now Generation," which begins, in cheerleader fashion, with the lines: "We are the now generation! We are the generation now!/This is the now generation! This is the generation now!" Led by will.i.am's production, which is continually the best thing about the album, the Black Eyed Peas move even farther away from hip-hop into the type of inspirational dance-pop that has become ripe for advertisements and marketing opportunities, including "I Gotta Feeling" ("I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night") and "Party All Night" ("If we could party all night and sleep all day, and throw all of our problems away, my life would be ea-say"). Granted, there's nothing here as embarrassing as "My Humps," and the production is a shade better than previous material from the group or Fergie solo (although still not as good as will.i.am solo ventures), but The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) becomes a mess of pop/dance/rap crossover.
For the past twenty-one weeks (almost half a year!), one musical act’s name has been constantly at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. With Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling, the Black Eyed Peas broke the record Usher set with Yeah! and Burn-Confessions Pt. II, proving once and for all that, when they’re in the room, The Energy Never Dies. On their latest LP’s newly-selected third single, Wi

With the release of their fifth album, the Black Eyed Peas establish The E.N.D. of a musical era and propel their own music into an electronic space age. The E.ND. - Energy Never Dies - is nothing short of a goulash of a variety of genres with core roots in dance and electro funk.

Black Eyed Peas have come a long way and turned in such a different direction. When they first came out with Behind The Front in 1998, they were more indie than Billboard 100. Things have changed for them immensely, especially after taking on female lead Fergie. They’ve left behind Kim Hill, a [...]Related posts:Sparks The Rescue - Eyes To The Sun Fearless records is a music label I tend to.
